also, extremely strong connecting rods and wrist pins. this is gonna end up bien a high horse motor. i know it sounds dumb because its only a 2.8 but i love these motors and if i could burn some 305s and some 302 stangers with i the way it was before, why not make an even more impessive 6 cylinder. im sure you guys understand this i just need to know where to get the stuff.

Yeah, but you won't get much out of the websites, you'll have to call to get that kind of part info.

http://www.northernautoparts.com
http://www.pawinc.com

Forged pistons (from PAW) are $200 more than cast pistons... and I think cast pistons are $180.
